Absolutely, but you have to be aware that it will raise your floor level and you might have a problem with door jambs and levels of flooring from one from room to another.

Can you install a ceramic floor over an existing laminate floor?

It depends on the condition, material and surface of the laminate. A linolium floor, for example, is soft composition with a textured surface. This makes a horrible foundation for ceramic tile, giving room to crack the grout between tiles. A hardwood-type laminate is smoother and harder which is a better foundation. That said, the best thing to do is rip the laminate out and start fresh.
